Yes there is and it's obnoxious. Its a way to get around the Do Not Call 
list. By falsifying the number, there's little you can do to report the 
call. Usually they don't give a name in the recorded message, Instead 
instruct you to push a number, which transfers an agent who is trained 
to hang up at the first sign of someone actually trying to discover the 
identity. There's a new round of them going around lately. My caller-id 
on my cellphone gave back a number with an extra digit. My home phone 
had the same number you describe call it. Both were vague recorded 
messages.
